Wickedness must find exercise for its malice. When one dares not openly assail, they will privately ensnare. This is a great trial for the “victim”, but the LORD is greater still. No secret snare can harm the man who dwells in a secret place with the Most High. God is the perfect (complete) Guardian. He makes us to walk safely in the midst of danger and tulmult times. God knows us and our enemies…and that, my friend, I find to be a victorious thought! God knows the pathway of the down-hearted and those who feel victimized.
He is not far from each and every one of us. HEIS NEAR!
A Psalm of David regarding his experience in the cave, trying to hide from Saul.
Psalm 142:1-7 I cried unto the Lord with my voice; with my voice unto the Lord did I make my supplication. I poured out my complaint before him; I shewed before him my trouble. When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then thou knewest my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privily laid a snare for me. I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul. I cried unto thee, O Lord: I said, Thou art my refuge and my portion in the land of the living. Attend unto my cry; for I am brought very low: deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I. Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.
David pleaded his cause before the Lord in a prayer filled with humility. In humbleness of spirit he asked God for grace and mercy. He did not seek God for merit nor for worthiness, but he cried out for grace and mercy. In the end David gives all praise—all credit---to the One who holds him in His hand.
JesusNever Fails
Words & Music by: GaryDriskell
Verse 1
So many souls have tested Him throughout the course of time.
So many still reach out to Him with broken hearts and minds.
And every one of them will say,
Without exception that they find…
Jesus never fails...
Verse 2
Even in the days of old, He brought His people through.
And then He came to show His love and died for me and you.
Then He rose again to prove,
That every story has been true…
Jesus never fails…
Chorus
Jesus never fails. Jesus never fails.
You might as well get thee behind me, Satan
You cannot prevail, because Jesus never fails.
Verse 3
Sometimes this world brings trouble I find so hard to bear.
I know I could not make it without Jesus being there.
It’s so encouraging to know,
How ever deep we’re in despair…
Jesus never fails.
Verse 4
So what can I do to prove to you, tell me how can you deny?
No untold facts, no mysteries, it’s all so cut and dried.
On the witness stand of your life,
I’ll be the first to testify…
Jesus never fails!
Repeat Chorus
I know… RepeatChorus
Tag
You might as well get thee behind me, Satan
You cannot prevail, because Jesus never fails.
Never fails…Jesus never has…and He never will!
